She is one of the best movie baddies, and her name is marvellous.

I recently rewatched the original and had forgotten just how well they portray her evil. Even as an adult I was actively repulsed the same way I would be if I met her in real life. Classic Disney definitely had some incredible villain writing.

The cartoon or the live action

Cartoon is the one I rewatched. I remember the old live action also being good though.

Glenn Close played it flawlessly.

Glenn Close is flawless and Horace and Jasper are played by the Weasley father and Dr. House. Names escape me today

I haven't seen the movie since I was a kid, but I did rewatch clips of it and she does genuinely come off as an extremely unpleasant person.

You might even say that she's somewhat cruel.
